Now that the sun has reminded us of all the goodness of spring, we had to post a picture of this dreamy deck and screened in porch that we completed. Smucker and Sons would love the privilege of helping your family complete the outdoor living space of YOUR dreams!

Day 4 door to door - 208km 900m⬆️. After a bad nights sleep in my tent I decided I had had enough of empty bike paths along the wiggly (but beautifully tranquil) Loire so I decided to go off grid and change my route. It was a welcome change. Although where do people go in France?! Instead of totally empty bike paths I was on totally empty roads! No one anywhere! Also I never knew such long, straight, open roads existed. You don’t get many of these in Meribel or Devon! I should be using them to my advantage and practicing things like no hands cycling but if I fall off, the likelihood of someone going past to rescue me if I’m hurt is slim. Until I hit roads leading in to Tours, when I was feeling pretty crappy - bit dizzy i think from the sun. It took quite a lot of concentration. Bike paths appearing intermittently were welcomed with total joy - and glancing at my garmin interestingly I noticed that my speed was actually pretty consistent throughout the day and seemingly my legs are coping better than I thought - flat is easy! But I think the sun is affecting me (having said that I don’t want to cycle in the rain!); and purely being on the bike so long. Im not used to it; And neither is my poor derrière! Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. However I have already hit my target for fund raising so every ounce of pain is worth it! Although I’m only half way home! 😬 .

So much beauty in the world at this time of year 🖤 Very pleased we got out to appreciate it yesterday, as today we’re stuck inside moving furniture ready for some plastering work. Hope you’re having a fab Sunday wherever you are.
